      I bet you don't need to go to the gym on those days so bonus.

      'this method is a perfect method if you're looking for a major heart attack or stroke. Do not use this method. It's very dangerous.

      This is the first of your videos that I've watched and will be the last. You obviously know nothing about safety, body strain, and how a heart works. You should not be making very dangerous videos like this. Find another way to spend your time.

    Sorry but … really the best snow shovel is the amazing and hard to find Snow Wovel. Nothing else compares. I’d like to see someone clever show how to make a homemade version. The Wovel isn’t being produced this year. Perhaps you could incorporate plywood in a homemade big wheel model.
    Using this hunk of plywood is more of a last resort type of thing. Maybe out west it might work but not Minnesota

    I live in the northern part of Wisconsin and we use scoops. The way you are using is not efficient. Plus no one that lives in the snow belt would use that “thing” you call a shovel.❤

    The contrast in speed with your neighbor in the background made me laugh.

      Yeah, the plywood method is much faster than a normal shovel. Thanks for watching!

    Looks like it works well in a pinch for moderate amounts of fairly dry snow that is ice-free. I'm guessing one of the sled shovels would work better in most conditions for clearing just tire tracks. I'm also guessing you own a snow blower or a garden tractor or ATV with a snow plow attachment for a driveway that big. Thanks for sharing this decent hack regardless.

    Sorry my friend but method is really hazardous and not really a quick solution to shovelling snow. It has sharp edges and if that plywood breaks, it can quickly lead to an injury. Why arent today's shovel head made of wood? Because they don't want anything breaking. Shovel heads are made of either metal or plastic. Two materials that either will bend or kink but not break. My advice for such a long driveway would be to get either a power assisted shovel or snow plough or get a really wide head shovel if you want to do it manually. BTW, I am from Canada and receive anywhere from 30-45in of snow annually so I know what I'm taking about. Good luck.

    If you're going to use this method, make sure you have your phone with you so you can call 911 when you sprain your back or have a major heart attack. What were you thinking? Sorry this is very dangerous.

  • @chrissedem8493
    @chrissedem8493 3 года назад +2

    That was nice and fast. I bet you had fun doing that rather than the stress it would have been if you used the shovel 😂

    • @ChristopherLum

      Yeah, the plywood method works surprisingly well. Thanks for watching!

    I’d bet 9in of snow. Fun video.

      Yeah, you're probably right. And it has now mostly melted 😀

    Some hacks make sense. However plywood is more expensive then a decent shovel but lwithout the risk of messing up your back or looking like a fool. This is silly

    Concept is okay. Ergonomically it is too exhausting for me.

  • @keshlalish5586
    @keshlalish5586 3 года назад +1

    or buy a good shovel ?
    joking aside anything lon and smooth should do the trick.
    even a board screwed to some handle would work great
